Thanks,

I'll have a look at those websites.

Actually, we would be happy to be in another smaller village on the coast near San Sebastien. Prefereably somewhere with a good surf scene.

We are hoping to get out there in September and we will drive around a lot and explore the areas surrounding San Sebastien

Hello Esteruca, and thanks for your advice. As you mentioned, it is a wonderful area, so maybe if we work hard to learn the language(s) before we leave, our efforts will be rewarded!

We are hoping that we will make a living by running a bed and breakfast which would probably mainly cater for English people and also my partner runs his own business from home. SO that bit should be ok

I would say the more discouraging point that you made is about the property prices! I didn't realise that it was the second most expensive city in Spain! Oh dear, oh dear! That is not good news at all!

Hello everyone.

Good to 'meet' you!

Myself and my boyfriend are hoping to move to Spain around April 2010 so I'm starting to plan things now. Any advice would be brilliant.

We'd like to move somewhere near San Sebastien and run a bed and breakfast. My boyfriend works from home running a record label and would be able to do this from anywhere really. So he would work from home. I like the idea of running a bed and breakfast so we can have a decent quality of life and spend time together and with our kid (I'm expecting!)

If everything goes to plan with the saleof our current home, we should have about 75k to put down on the new place and will need a mortgage for the rest.

Does anyone know much about living in this area? Is the language as inpenetrable as I'm led to believe?

ANd does anyone know anything about running a bed and breakfast in Spain? All advice gratefully received!
